Some looker in her day. RIP

Radomir Antic RIP.

One of the great football men. He scored the goal for Luton which saved them from relegation and relegated Manchester City in 1983, after which David Pleat famously jigged across the Maine Road pitch.

The only man to manage Barcelona, Real Madrid and, most memorably, Atletico Madrid.

Managed Serbia to the World Cup finals.

@mickee321 will be devastated to hear this.

Throw up the David Pleat celebration.

RIP

I recall him in charge of Barcelona. After Van Gaal?

This one?

Here’s Radi’s goal and the famous David Pleat celebration.

It was a great goal actually - very reminiscent of Eric Cantona’s in the 1996 FA Cup final.

Yeah. I don’t remember much about his time at Barcelona, I more recall him being in charge of Real Madrid in the 91/92 season and doing an excellent job. He was sacked extremely harshly, a quick Wikipedia says they were seven points ahead at the top of the league. They ended up blowing the league to Barcelona on the final day after being 2-0 up at Tenerife, they lost 3-2.

Is he wearing football boots under his suit :thinking:

Also more sliding tackles in that 30 second sequence than you’d see in a match these days.

Pleat fastened his jacket button after the first dart of a run he gave, then did another one.

That Luton strip :heart_eyes:

Was that Alex Williams in the goal for Citeh?
His mother made my Communion outfit.

With great sadness…
John Prine has died in Nashville aged 73, from Covid-19.
One of the good guys, a postman turned genius songwriter. He’ll be missed.
